For instructions on printing your tax return from a pdf, please review the instructions below:

Before proceeding, make sure Adobe Reader is installed on your computer. Most computers already have it, but if not you can get it for free at get.adobe.com/reader.

Here's how to print: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3338601

I am trying to print from turbotax deluxe (pc download) and all it does is say "gathering form list" and sits and does nothing. What do I do to fix?

That is not helpful. It is not a printer problem, it is a turbotax program problem. The troubleshooting guide you gave me will not help. It will not generate a PDF at all which is the reason why I can't print. Turbotax is up to date and the printing capabilities of my computer work. It is a turbotax software issue, not hardware.

Nevermind, it generated after about 20 minutes, still takes forever. Sorry for the bother.

This will not let me open my tax return & print it.  I've already filed & received my return.

And yes I have Adobe Reader

Please try printing you return with the method below:

  1. Sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page
  2. Scroll down and click on Add a state. 
  3. This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.
  4. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. 
  5. Then click on Print Center. 
  6. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

The below instructions are different than the one above:

What happens when you try these procedures -

 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

Or -

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

Did you download it?  What file did you download?  Was it a .tax or .pdf or .txt file?  If it downloads as a .txt file, try changing the .txt to .pdf or use a different browser to download it.  It doesn't like Microsoft Edge so use something else like Chrome or Firefox.

 

How to get a copy after filing

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-get-a-copy-of-a-return-i-filed-thi...

 

Or here's an alternate way to print by opening the filed return back up to print at the Print Center, where you can also get the worksheets.

 

Log in and at the Tax Home or in the section Your Tax Returns & Documents for 2019, look for a link Add a State.  Click on Add a State.  (you don't really add one.  That's just to open your return back up.)

 

After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.

Then choose Print, save, view this year's return.

The next screen should offer some options:  Just my tax returns or include government worksheets (optional), or include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)
